4.89. How do I get EstiMate to always round prices?

One thing I have not yet figured out is how to set preferences so that EstiMate will always round prices; how do I do it?

EstiMate will not always round prices and this is by design. Whenever you are doing a quantity of 1 sign then the rounding checkbox will be active. When you are doing quantities of signs rounding is not available due to the fact that it skews the pricing too much and limits EstiMate's effectiveness. I suggest that after calculating your total that you override the each price and then re-calculate. For example if the each price of your signage comes out to $242.57 for one sign and you want to do two signs and have the total be $243.00 then erase the $242.57 from the each price field, type in the new figure you want of $121.50 (121.50 x 2 = 243.00)( the override box will automatically check itself ), and click the calculate total button to get a total based on the new each price.
